potential ideas

  07/12/21  Potential ideas:

When starting my project, I had a range of different ideas for my project as I wanted to focus on a topic that I had a great interest in which would keep me motivated. The ideas ranged greatly including:

-how does the police system fail victims? (e.g stalking)

-how does schizophrenia affect people/how do they function in society?

-should organ donation be mandatory?

-how are women portrayed in modern music in comparison to older music?

-are people treated differently based on their appearance?

I eventually decided that I wanted to focus my topic on euthanasia as it is a topical idea in current society, as well as in the past, and there are many debates and opinions surrounding the topic. There has been some progress in other countries with euthanasia, however the UK's legislation seems to have stagnated.

One of my potential research topics on this idea was "why is euthanasia acceptable for animals but not for humans?". I decided I still want to cover this slightly in my research, however not as my general research question as it may be misleading/too highly debated. 

Topic ideas to research:

-access to euthanasia

-ethics of euthanasia 

-why people want to access euthanasia

-cost of euthanasia: should it be free

-different countries approaches(in comparison to UK)

-differences between euthanising animals and humans

-slippery slope argument
